Choosing to live healthier must begin at home. You can start by getting rid of the toxins and harsh chemicals used every day that are found in your cosmetics, bath and body products, household cleaners, and nutritional supplements (that's right, they often include toxins!) Over 880 have been identified by the US Government, but are still commonly used.

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products. The results were as follows:
·    884 of the chemicals were toxic
·    314 caused biological mutation
·    218 caused reproductive complications
·    778 caused acute toxicity
·    148 caused tumors
·    376 caused skin and eye irritations.

When your dishwasher vents the steam at the end of the cycle, it is usually a toxic cloud of chlorine vapor. The formaldehyde in your shampoo is used to pickle dead things, Yikes! Moisturizing agents in your lotions and cosmetics have so many preservatives; they often evaporate before the 4-6 hour absorption period. Most cases of poisonings are from common household products. If the government won’t regulate the safety of products in the home, it is up to individuals to choose safer alternatives.
